i notice most of the times increased and very few stayed the same (abu-dhabi for example but that was 27 months already :eek: )

i'm just wondering if some embassies became faster for any of u? ::)

Please are these official timelines beinhg quoted on here, or timelines based on people's recent experiences? I ask cos I know I heard some impressing stories from various visa offices about significantly faster processing times for "complete" packages with lots of supporting documentary evidence (spousal sponsorship), eg Accra.

That is my VO and I like to stay positive and "cling" to people's positive experiences as opposed to the dreadfully depressing timelines stated on the CIC website! :p
